In general, a solar power system is neither too dangerous nor too
complicated for most people to look after. It does not need any supervision from
any government agency because it poses no risks. However, there are still a few
safety tips you should follow when working on a solar power system..
To
use solar power panels safely in practical applications, they must be:
Protected from physical damage during
manufacture, transport, and installation,

Protected
from extreme weather conditions such as hailstones, wind and weight caused by a
build up of snow. This is particularly important for wafer-based silicon cells
which are fragile.
Sealed in order to protect them from damp, which will
corrode metal contacts,particularly the transparent conductive oxide layer found
in thin-film cells. Not doing this will inevitably result in reduced operation
and their ultimate lifespan.
After reading that, I shouldn't have to tell
you that it's never a good idea to work on solar panels whenever it is
raining.
Just like car batteries, the batteries for a solar power system
contain extremely corrosive battery acid. If were unfortunate and did get acid
on your skin, in your eyes, or just on your clothes, it is imperative to remove
it right away. Whenever you are working around the batteries of your solar power
system,it is advisable to make sure that somebody can hear you if you have the
need to shout for help. You could need another person nearby in case you have an
accident of some sort.
Ensuring that you have water and soap available
will help to clean any spillages of battery acid off you. If you get it on your
clothes,

off before it seeps through to your skin. For your eyes, you need running water
to flood your eyes,

after that you will need to visit a hospital promptly.
It is dangerous
to smoke or allow any source of ignition anywhere near a battery,

may cause a spark, which can lead to an explosion. You should constantly be
aware that sparks may occur when you work with the panels. The risk of sparks is
one of the reasons why you should never have any incendiary gases close
by.
You should make sure that, if you have a hybrid system, your backup
generator is switched off so it there is absolutely no possibility it can start
whenever you are doing anything with the battery.
You should not have
anything made of metal such as jewelry or watches when you are close to the
battery. A short circuit can produce enough electrical current to melt the metal
onto the other metal. The high temperature from this occurring could easily
cause you intense burns.
There are also a few other safeguards you
should take whenever you work on solar panels. Firstly,
timberland boots cheap,for
safety reasons, you should cover up the outward side of the panels so that
sunlight cannot reach them. This stops them from making electricity while you
are working.
You have to be careful what you touch whenever you are
setting up solar panels. It is unsafe to touch the terminals if they are exposed
to light. It's also a good idea to work with insulated tools to protect yourself
from shock.
If you are working on a solar panel make sure it is secured
or it can fall and break. Not only will you lose a once perfectly good solar
panel, but you will have the additional danger of broken glass all around as
well. For this very good reason children should never be allowed to play nearby
whenever solar panels are being fitted.
All these precautions for
handling solar power panels are mainly for installation and maintenance. Solar
power is still very safe compared to most other forms of energy. It only needs
for you to take a couple of commonsense precautions and a smattering of
knowledge to keep the system working smoothly with very little possibility of
danger to you or anyone else.
